Seems to fail on Desktop Firefox (I'm on Linux) as well.

Seconded, lived in the Bay Area for years and Paris for two years so far. Not even vaguely the same ballpark.

I'm more excited about StableHLO and IREE than about their integration into Pytorch, Tensorflow, etc. I want to see a DSL that can be used to describe models elegantly and then exp…

I'm sorry but you are wrong. I am describing how physics works and it is at odds with many of the claims made regarding our understanding of what is a very, _very_, complex system.…

The problem with this is there do seem to be quite legitimate physicists who disagree with the "sky is falling" conclusion that all popular discussion is premised on. I recently he…

Yeah I came here to say this as well. I gave up on LaTeX for my resume something like ten years ago. Since then I use HTML/CSS and render it with wkhtmltopdf. edit: grammar

Well what does that even mean if you don't follow that up with some good 'ol R&R?

There were some reasonable bits in here, but there is just enough typical, ridiculous Silicon Valley nonsense to largely turn me off from the article. > I actually got a lot done I…

Damn, that was a really cool talk. Nice work and thanks for sharing.

I don't understand. In this article we are imaging widespread and frequent failure of critical infrastructure and we are supposed to further imagine that we're still interested in …

Yes same here. I really go crazy when technology that takes us further away from each other is presented as some sort of progress. Why don't we look around at how isolated we've be…

No offense intended, but what you describe sounds pretty dismal to me. We have what you describe where I live (France), but I prefer to go to the markets where I know the butcher/g…

My favorite place to bike is Parc naturel régional de la Haute Vallée de Chevreuse (French people aren't into the whole brevity thing). I can't speak to hiking but I have to assume…

Attitudes vary from person to person, but I don't really think being 20 minutes from nature really counts. I lived in Paris until recently and had a really rough time for a few rea…

The default is that it forces a restart when a new update has been downloaded, which has been a frustration for me as apparently it has been for the parent. Apparently this can be …

Yeah, I found some boletes a few months ago and out of an abundance of caution took them to three different pharmacists in Paris and every one looked at me like I was a crazy perso…

I'm surprised to see morels aren't on the list. Anyone who confuses a morel for a false morel is _really_ not paying attention. On the other hand, there are toxic (not deadly) bole…

I don't disagree that pedestrians and cyclists need to be careful, but as someone who walks far, far more than they drive, I really regret that cars are king in modern cities. Even…

> There are a few reasons why Facebook and Google software engineers are so ignored and underpaid. It is true that per engineer, successful SV firms do make a lot of money. But it …

I see two big problems. The science funding climate, at least in the US (I don't really know what goes on elsewhere) is in a really sad state. Projects with a low probability of su…

I don't think this blog post is really saying all that much. > Yet, it's good to write software in such a way, in which it is easy to replace one part with another when a better (f…

Many people are quick to say that no one should trust an opinion piece (some claiming further that WSJ in particular is suspect). People should be cautious of anything they read fr…

While I appreciate the sentiment generally, I think this opinion, at least expressed as it is here, is a little exaggerated. In this case the author is a doctor, which probably mak…

It looks interesting, but I feel the visualizations remove value rather than add it; too busy and abstract so they end up being a distraction more than anything else.

Thanks for the post! I just spent a very enjoyable bit of time on the first chapter of this book.
